Ceramics Instructor

Laurel South is among the most prestigious, well-respected camps in the country. We offer quality instruction designed to allow children to participate in activities they love, while also allowing them to explore new and exciting opportunities. At Laurel South, we pride ourselves on our professional, family atmosphere, our top instruction and the lifelong friendships made each summer. Our staff is made up of collegians and professionals who have a desire to make a difference in a child’s life.

Our Ceramics Studio is in the center of camp and has beautiful space and light. There are 3-4 wheels, a slab roller, and a kiln room. Ceramics instructors need to have experience in hand building, wheel throwing, and firing a (manual turn-up) electric kiln.

Each year, we choose the Laurel South team from students, graduates, and faculty from schools and colleges mostly from throughout the U.S. with a few from abroad. We look for people with personality, character, maturity, professional training, experience and most importantly, a sincere desire to work with children. Our counselor to camper ratio is better than 1:3. As a staff member, you enjoy several nights and days off during the summer. Our salaries are competitive and vary according to age, education, skill and experience. Room/board and laundry services are provided. This is a seasonal experience. Applicants must be available June 11th - August 12th.

Staring at $3000 for the summer for college freshman and going up from there. Room/board and laundry services are provided.

All counselors/interns are supervised by the Head Counselors and directly with their Area Leaders.
